Contact the USCIS office that received your application, and be prepared to provide specific information
If your petition for a fiancee visa is denied, the denial letter will tell you how to appeal. Generally, you
may appeal within 33 days of receiving the denial by mail. Your appeal must be filed on USCIS Form I-290B.
The appeal must be filed with the office that made the original decision. After your appeal form and a required
fee are processed, the appeal will be referred to the Administrative Appeals Unit (AAU) in Washington, DC.
(Sending the appeal and fee directly to the AAU will delay the process.) For more information, see Appealing
the Denial of My Petition or Application.
Expert Tip # 1
Don’t attempt to game the system by applying for a tourist, student or employment visa for your Fiancee. Not only does this waste time waiting to hear that your Fiancee’s application has been rejected, but it will serve to identify your Fiancee as someone probably attempting to enter the U.S. under false pretenses. All Fiancee visa applications are initially viewed skeptically by USCIS with the underlying assumption that a possible attempt to circumvent U.S. immigration laws is being attempted. The USCIS mandate is skewed to preventing fraud, not to bringing happy couples together. Applying for a Fiancee visa after unsuccessfully applying for other visas will subject your Fiancee to extra scrutiny and delays at best, an outright rejection at worse.
